egypt's corridor with gaza his presidency promised his supporters a chance to reclaim egypt some pride especially on the international stage one of the curious things is that the americans have been to egypt since morsi was elected and they congratulated him but morsi didn't rush off to united states he went to china instead and also to iran which was a diplomatic snub to you know it it states but the snub it seems more of a token gesture because when angry egyptians took to the streets to protest against the united states the muslim brotherhood kept in the background and president morsi criticism of the u.s. was muted dr saeed sadik a longtime observer of egyptian foreign policy says morsi cannot replace the united states with another world superpower but godless of how much you might want to change your foreign policy or restructure it it's a big process and you need i'll turn it over and the alternative is not i don't think china for. placement the fact is there for egypt to prosper and solve

aid to egypt and the relationship between the two countries remains strained this war with erected several days ago to prevent protesters from reaching the american embassy on the other side but there is no sign of anyone wanting to take it down a physical reminder of the growing barrier that now exists between kléber and washington but it's a barrier that neither side wants to make permanent because while morsi might be pulls apart politically from his predecessor on the international front he's trading remarkably close policy r.t. . in europe outrage over a us still knocking islam is engulfing new countries fast clashes have erupted in the greek capital as police used tear gas and pepper spray to this past muslim protestors it follows then rest in france for muslims to the streets after a french magazine published caricatures of the prophet mohammad place in paris arrested twenty one people for defying a ban on protests rallies and we are acting to the publications hundreds of

2:06 am
a growing feeling in leftwing circles that the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support it terrorism on monday and condemn it on tuesday and then support it again on wednesday they're playing it both ways they don't want to enrage the the people the alleged five million people of muslim backgrounds in france are a lot of people on the other hand they stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in france on certain subjects but the ongoing syrian conflict has made many nations in the region of africa sions but in neighboring lebanon people are already feeling the clashes between those supporting and opposing syria's president a son have become a common sight on lebanese trees and everything points of the country being dragged into the war even as the sick af and explains. another day another battle in syria. it's a war that has taken on increasingly sectarian tones that some fear could in gulf

neighboring countries it's the state's outside more vulnerable the neighbors of syria that could be said to be more vulnerable than syria itself for gratian and civil war lebanon stands right in the path of the blast waves lebanon fought its own civil war on terror in lines for fifteen years and now the syrian conflict is literally spilling across its border syrian troops have carried out incursions into lebanese territory while rebels take shelter in lebanese towns it is aggravated i'm healed wounds from the past string fears of a new civil war that's already have had effect here in lebanon it is. the politics of lebanon. it is resulted in conflicts that have taken place in tripoli it is resulted. that have happened in beirut lebanon of course vulnerable to this type of sectarian conflict lebanon sunni's mainly support

with his opponents is possible that. as long as assad remains in power there won't be peace in syria lebanon or iraq or palestine through be no peace while he is in force and neighboring general must send an alawite fighter shows me the destroyed remains of his home when asked to explain the recent fighting with his sunni neighbors this was his response not the dollars just we are defending ourselves against machines of terror and they're serious we are being brought in from that red. even the push to defend islam is most unifying figure the prophet muhammad wasn't enough to bridge lebanon's sick tarion divide in beirut separate protests against an anti islam video has turned tens of thousands of shias to the streets days later a hardline sunni cleric who gathered his own supporters in the capital they may have been united in their outrage the protesters carried flags that left no doubt which side of the syrian divide they're on for now lebanon is holding together but
2:10 am
some residents here wonder whether this is just the calm before the storm this is what your eyes are going to cover. they're going to have their start they can start their careers in the streets here and then. everyone is going to fight this thing like that so it's never going to get this shelled out building stands in beirut green line which for nearly two decades divided this city journal lebanon's bitter civil war christian communities lived over here to the east muslim communities lived across the street to the west but as the armed conflict in syria continues to escalate just across the border many here in lebanon fear that the fragile peace could yet again be shattered and that sectarian tensions could once again plunge this nation of nearly four million into another civil war for our team and lucy california in beirut. this is also. the year they were. also as in the east china sea. china sounds in the. group of disputed islands with. however the beijing might not be the only two players washington's involved as in

a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups who've been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place the infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs
2:14 am
it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication i mean that we foil and remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew. was a big issue. welcome back while many households in the u.k.

2:22 am
if you have a boost from governmental dominus then you get into in trouble with the things like corruption and inefficiency is. not a clear. good setting and stuff like that so personally i like more system which is which is more driven by market than the government but apparently this will be a difficult task as forums like so to demonstrate just how closely the business in states and russia ends of twine together like two parts of one mechanism to me a realisation something has to be done is a step in the right direction. let's not check out the equity markets first to moscow a major slide for the russian shares on the opening not surprising considering where asia it's trading and it is indeed it is trading in the red on concerns that the euro crisis is far from being resolved on the currency market the euro is reflecting these concerns weakening to the u.s. dollar the russian ruble on the opening is extending last week's
